SPECIAL STUNTS PLANNED FOR

SOLDIERS DANCE IN BLAZE Of GLORY
White Gloves to Be Worn But Cabs
Are Out of Date Programless
Band Informal First.
In a blaze of splendor the gay sol
dier ladB will lead their lassies next
Friday evening. The Military Ball is
going to be the most elaborate dance'
over given at the University. The
committee have been planning lavish
decorations and every day some now
feature is being added.
At a meeting of the committee, held
a day ago, the decoration committee
waB instructed to leave nothing un
done and the committee appropriated
the money to decorate in every detail
as the sub-cbmmltteo had requested.
More Big Stunts.
Some new features are to bo intro
duced into tho grand march. The o Ul
cers are planning to spring a number
of stunts during the evening. Master
of ceremonies D. B. Van Dusen prom
ises that the committee this year do
not intend to let Old Qlory get side
tracked, as she did last year.
A series of fancy drills and marches
may be a part of the officers' program.
No "comish," however, will divulge
tho scoret and none know Just exactly
what Is liable to bo sprung.
White Gloves Necessary.
Tho now uniforms, which have ar
rived, will make Tt possible for the
band to appear In full uniform, white
gloves and all. About twenty of tho
officers will also wear brand now re
galia. It promises to be a grand occa
sion. It will, bo formal as announced,
but even "formals" at Nebraska are
far from stiff affairs.
Cabs havo been formally abolished
at tho University and are never neces
sary, except when the elements get on
a rampage and make navigation next
to impossible. The fact that the girls
are not expecting to have their escorts
call in cabs (a public nuisance neces
sarily, but only temporarily revived
last Saturday night) relieves the mind
of many a soldier who would to tho
dance.
To Begin Early.
Tho cadet band will give a concert
of dance 'music beginning at 7:30
